Many aspects of the mental health field as we know it are systemically based and built on values sourced from colonialism, white supremacy, and Christianity.

As a result, there is often a lot of secrecy around the practice of therapy, and it can be very difficult to access for certain communities.

If you want to change the level of care and inclusivity in your therapy practice, as well as build more community, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk with Elizabeth McCorvey, equine therapist, college counselor, anti-racist and anti-oppressive trainer and consultant.

Top 3 Reasons to listen to the entire episode:

It's important to understand and shape the care you provide to clients around boundaries based on honoring your authentic self, as well as do the work to really understand the communities you serve.

A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!

I would also like to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode. As you prepare for the new year as a private practice owner, one area of your business where you might be able to level up your client experience is from the moment that they enter your office and check in with you. For many private practices, the client check-in process can be a bit awkward and confusing. Clients often enter into an empty waiting room. And chances are you're wrapping up a session with someone else, so there's no way of knowing when they arrive. With a visitor management system like The Receptionist for iPad, you can provide clients with a discreet and secure way to check in for their appointment while instantly being notified of their arrival. What's more, The Receptionist offers an iPad list check-in option where clients can scan a QR code to check in, which negates the need for you to buy an iPad and stand. Go to thereceptionist.com/privatepractice and sign up for a free 14-day trial. When you do, you'll get your first month free. And don't forget to ask about our iPad list check-in option.
